June 2023

At the Village Board meeting on June 12, the Village Board approved a Lindenhurst Economic Assistance Program (LEAP) grant for new signage at the Grand Plaza Shopping Center. The new monument signage is expected to be constructed this summer. This is the fifth awarded LEAP grant to a Lindenhurst business since the program was created.

Public Works is now offering free mulch to Lindenhurst residents. Residents can pick up mulch at the Public Works building located at 2060 Grass Lake Road at the intersection of Grass Lake Road and Beck Road. Pick-ups are available Monday- Friday, 7:00 am- 2:45 pm, and on weekends, 7:00- 10:00 am. Mulch is self-serve, so please bring your own equipment and containers. Public Works cannot load pick-ups or trailers. No appointment is necessary to come to pick up mulch. Mulch will be available until July 24th.

ComEd and their contractor, Intren, will be replacing underground cables within the Mallard Ridge Subdivision tentatively beginning Wednesday, 6/14. The contractors will be replacing, installing new, and abandoning old underground residential distribution (URD) cables within the easement and right of way. It is estimated that construction will take two months, with restorations to follow after the work has been completed. For additional questions or concerns on this project, please contact Intren directly at 815-923-2300.

For the Village, our economic development priorities are broken down into four central focus areas that include:

1. Business Retention, Expansion, and Recruitment: This focus area's efforts aim to support existing businesses, foster their growth, and attract new businesses to our area to ensure a thriving economy through a variety of strategies that include meeting with businesses, providing economic incentives, and simplifying regulations and permitting processes.
2. Grand Avenue Revitalization and Redevelopment: This initiative builds on the earlier infrastructure upgrades along Grand Avenue and the approved Grand Avenue Redevelopment Plan to attract new businesses and support existing ones in the corridor.
3. Placemaking and Business Marketing: Placemaking is an urban planning approach to urban planning and design to create vibrant, attractive, and sustainable public spaces that meet the community's needs. This is supplemented with business marketing to create a consistent message that Lindenhurst is the place to work, live, and play.
4. Supporting Industries and Businesses: The Village is always looking for ways to improve our services. One of the ways we're doing this is by conducting a business survey to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of working with the Village and gain more insight into how we can support our businesses!
